Material

Organic cotton/Organic cotton

Cotton is a natural material that comes from the cotton plant. The cotton fibers are spun into a yarn that is often used in clothing because of its durability, comfort and strength. In addition, cotton has good breathability and can easily absorb moisture. Cotton can discolour due to light and the stretchability of the fabric is limited. Unfortunately, cotton production is a burden on the environment, as cotton fields are often sprayed with toxic chemicals such as insecticides and pesticides. That is why organic cotton is grown without the use of chemicals. This helps to keep the soil fertile and to protect biodiversity.

This product contains a UV50+ sun protection and therefore protects you perfectly against the sun. You can easily put the cap in your pocket because the peak is foldable. This cap is available in beige, olive, anthracite and slate blue.

Materials

Recycled polyester

Polyester is a synthetic material made from petroleum. It is a durable, smooth fabric that feels soft. In addition, it is lightweight, does not need to be ironed and dries quickly. Unfortunately, polyester is not biodegradable, but it is recyclable. If the product is used and maintained properly, it will last longer, making the product sustainable in the long term. This makes recycled polyester a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.

Bamboo viscose

Bamboo viscose is a fiber made from bamboo. Fewer pesticides are used than in cotton production, making it a good alternative.

Technologies

FUTURE DYE

FUTURE DYE – a new dyeing process in textile processing – makes dyeing more sustainable .

Traditionally, either the already spun yarn or even the finished woven fabric is dyed using a lot of water and chemicals. The yarn or fabric is soaked in containers with a mixture of water, dye and chemicals (to fix the dye to the fibers) and later also rinsed using water.

With FUTURE DYE, colored granules are added to the plastic granules and a colored fiber is produced.
That saves 50-70% water , 70-80% chemicals and energy . The result is a completely dyed yarn – UV stable and colourfast .
